Survey123 required fields not working as expected

[EricS]

I have a survey that has multiple required fields.  In the desktop survey123 the order of required messages pops up in the order of questions asked: meaning that the first unanswered required field pops up the message then the second then third etc....  However in the IOS app on my phone it does not follow this pattern.  Example my first required field is "Crew Number".  If I submit a blank survey my required field message that appears is a required field "Organization Name" much farther down the line of questions asked.  It is also a question that only appears as prerequisite of prior question answered.  If I answer the Organization name then it will ask for crew number requirement.  If I answer the crew number question the next required field will be my "Location" which does not follow the order.  It is not a logical pattern.  Is this something that can be fixed in the xls form?  Im using version 3.2.265 for reference.

Great. The geopoint questions are not in a repeat or group when this is happening.

Thank you!

A workaround is to put it in a Group. Give it a shot.
